2018 Scholarship Recipients

The ICPSR Summer Program would like to recognize and congratulate the 2018 scholarship awardees!

This year's applicant pool was the largest and most competitive ever. Our applicants included exemplary graduate students and pre-tenure scholars dedicated to the use and development of statistical and mathematical research methods in the fields of developmental psychology, education, electoral behavior, political science, public administration, public policy, quantitative history, and sociology. With more outstanding applicants than we had scholarships to award, our scholarship review committee was faced with an extremely difficult selection process. We would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone who submitted an application for an ICPSR Scholarship.
